Intl Emerging Artist Award

Media One Hotel, Dubai

On May 2014, the third annual event was held at Media One Hotel, Media City, Dubai, and theWorkshop Design Consultancy signed up as an event partner to design and setup the temporary exhibition in the hotel's vacant floor.

Four interconnecting galleries were created to showcase the works of the international winner, the Emirati winner, the Emirati runner ups, and the international runner ups. The design approach was based on circulation, at times offering wide areas for viewing and discussions followed by restrictions to slow down circulation where required.

As Bernard Tschumi put it, "Architecture is defined by the actions it witnesses as much as by the enclosure of its walls."
